Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behavior, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don't like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive（不坦率的）person. You worry a lot and you're always easily upset. You're very stubborn（頑固的）, but you aren't very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
If you sleep curled up（卷曲）, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you're often defensive. You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people．You prefer to be on your own. You're easily hurt.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don't often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.
小題1: According to the writer，you naturally show your secret and real personality _________.
A．only in a normal night
B．only when you go to sleep
C．only when you refuse to show yourself to the world
D．only when you change sleeping position

A．He or she is always open with others.
B．He or she always likes new ideas earlier than others.
C．He or she is always easily upset.
D．He or she tends to believe in others.
小題3: Maybe you don't want to make friends with a person who sleeps curled up. Why？
A．He or she would rather be alone than communicate with you.
B．He or she is rarely ready to help you.
C．He or she prefers staying at home to going out.
D．He or she wouldn't like to get help from you.
小題4:It appears that the writer tends to think highly of the person who sleeps on one side because __________.
A．he or she always shows sympathy for people
B．he or she is confident，but not stubborn
C．he or she has more strengths than weaknesses
D．he or she often considers annoying people

The triathlon(鐵人三項運動) promises to be one of the most popular Olympic sports.Recently it has drawn huge crowds attracted by athletes swimming 1,500m，cycling 40km，then running 10km without stopping.But what makes an attractive 17­year­old girl give up everything for the doubtful pleasure it offers?
Melanie Sears has not yet learnt those often­repeated phrases about personal satisfaction，mental challenge and higher targets that most athletes use when asked similar questions.“You swim for 1,500m，then run out of the water and jump on your bike，still wet.Of course，then you freeze.When the 40km cycle ride is over，you have to run 10km，which is a long way when you’re feeling exhausted.But it’s great fun，and all worth it in the end，” she says.
Melanie entered her first triathlon at 14 and she won the junior section.Full of confidence，she entered the National Championships，and although she had the second fastest swim and the fastest run，she came nowhere.“I was following this man and suddenly we came to the sea.We realised then that we had gone wrong.I ended up cycling 20 kilometres too far.I cried all the way through the running.”
But she did not give up and was determined that she never will.“Sometimes I wish I could stop，because then the pain would be over，but I am afraid that if I let myself stop just once，I would be tempted(誘惑) to do it again.”Such doggedness draws admiration from Steve Trew，the sport’s director of coaching.“I’ve just been testing her fitness，” he says, “and she worked so hard on the running machine that it finally threw her off and into a wall.She had given it everything，and she just kept on.”
Melanie was top junior in this year’s European Triathlon Championships，finishing 13th.“I was almost as good as the top three in swimming and running，but much slower in cycling.That’s why I’m working very hard at it.” She is trying to talk her long­suffering parents，who will carry the ￡1,300 cost of her trip to New Zealand for this year’s world championships，into buying a ￡2,000 bike，so she can try 25km and 100km races later this year.
But there is another price to pay.“I don’t have a social life，”she says.“After two hours’ hard swimming on Friday night，I just want to go to sleep.But I phone and write to the other girls in the team.” What does she talk about？Boys？Clothes？“No，what sort of times they are achieving.”
小題1:How does Melanie differ from other athletes，according to the writer?
A．She worries less than they do.
B．She expresses herself differently.
C．Her family background is not like theirs.
D．Her aims are different from theirs.
小題2:What upset Melanie during the National Championships?
A．She was tricked by another competitor.
B．She felt she had let her team­mates down.
C．She made a mistake during part of the race.
D．She realized she couldn’t cycle as fast as she thought.
小題3:What is Melanie trying to persuade her parents to do?
A．Buy an expensive bike for her.
B．Give her half the cost of a bike.
C．Let her compete in longer races.
D．Pay for her to go to New Zealand.
小題4:What does Melanie say about her relationships with her team­mates?
A．She would like to see them more often.
B．She only discusses the triathlon with them.
C．She thinks they find her way of life strange.
D．She dislikes discussing boys or clothes with them.

People born in winter are more likely to suffer mental health disorders, according to a recent study carried out by researchers at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee.
Researchers raised baby mice from birth to weaning (斷奶) in either “summer” light cycles of 16 hours of light and 8 hours of dark or “winter” cycles of 8 hours of light and 16 hours of dark. A third group experienced 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark a day.
Then half the winter mice stayed in a winter cycle, while half switched to a summer schedule. The summer mice were similarly split. The mice raised in equal periods of light and dark were split into three groups, one of which stayed on the 12­hour schedule, one of which joined the winter group, and one of which joined the summer group.
After 28 days, it turns out the summer­born mice behaved the same whether they stayed on the summer cycle or switched to winter. But among the winter­born mice, those stayed in winter kept their previous schedule, while those that switched to summer stayed active for an extra hour and a half, which indicates that mice born and weaned in a winter light cycle showed dramatic disruptions in their biological clocks.
The finding is the first of its kind in mammals, and it could explain why people born in winter are at higher risk for mental health disorders including bipolar depression, schizophrenia and seasonal affective disorder.
“We know that the biological clock regulates mood in humans，”said study researcher McMahon. “If the mechanism (機制) similar to the one that we found in mice operates in humans, then it could not only have an effect on a number of behavioral disorders, but also have a more general effect on personality.”
小題1:How many groups of mice are there finally in all in the experiment?
A．Four.B．Five.C．Six. D．Seven.
小題2:What's the main idea of the text?
A．The biological clock regulates mood in humans.
B．People born in winter are at higher risk for physical health disorders.
C．Being born in winter has a negative effect on people's mental health.
D．The length of light will influence the behavior of the mice.
小題3:The underlined word “split”(Paragraph 3) can be replaced by ________.
A．endedB．tornC．hitD．divided
小題4:Who is the appropriate reader of the passage?
A．A job­hunter.B．A student in the university.
C．A newly­married couple.D．An experienced dentist.

Nuclear power’s danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation.
Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected by human senses. It can’t be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can’t detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can’t sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.
At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being immediately by killing masses of cells in vital organs. But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no levels of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be serious. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed immediately. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.
This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated（輻射）and feel fine, then die for cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.     
Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.         
小題1:Which of the following statements is true?                   
A．Nuclear radiation is just like common radio waves.
B．Nuclear radiation can cause cancer to human beings.
C．Nuclear radiation can be detected by human senses.
D．Nuclear radiation can be safe to human beings if its level is low.
小題2:How can nuclear radiation kill an animal?                    
A．By damaging its heart.B．By killing a few cells.
C．By hitting any place in its body.D．By killing many cells in important organs.
小題3: If a human being is hit by nuclear radiation, he may _______.
A．die of cancer after many yearsB．die immediately
C．have a child who may be born weak D．a(chǎn)ll of the above

Having one of those days or weeks when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood(心情) will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster—often within a day or two.
Walk it off
Exercise is the most popular bad ­mood buster. A person who's in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten­-minute walk, or doing some quick exercises can do wonders towards changing the bad mood.
Tune it out
Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly, because music starts connection with past positive experiences we've had.
Give yourself a paper talk
Stop and listen to what's on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper, the pessimistic(悲觀的) messages you've been giving yourself, and then give optimistic answers. (“I still don't have a job.” vs “I have two interviews next week.”)
Reduce your stress
Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood­lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing(想像), all of which sound complicated(復雜的) but aren't. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to distress is to make a to­do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. By taking control over certain areas,  you realize you're not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.
Avoid things that won't improve your mood
TV may not help much: you need to increase your energy level and stimulate(刺激) your mind—something that the TV show “Neighbors” won't do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. The better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta(面食), produce calming effects in people who have a desire for them.
小題1:Which of the following may help us stop a bad mood?
A．Doing nothing about it
B．Exercising and enjoying music.
C．Writing down negative thoughts
D．Talking about it with neighbors.
小題2:Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?
A．It helps remove bad mood.
B．It brings us a new technique.
C．It is not complicated to do so.
D．It is an area to be easily controlled.
小題3:TV may not improve your mood because it ________.
A．shows what happens around youB．does not energize you
C．reminds you of eating and drinkingD．produces a calming effect
小題4:Which would be the best title for this passage?
A．Energy Level and StressB．How to Beat a Bad Mood
C．Bad Mood and Our LifeD．How to Control Your Feeling

Doctors in Britain are warning of an obesity time bomb, when children who are already overweight grow up. So, what should we do? Exercise more? Eat less? Or both? The government feels it has to take responsibility for this expanding problem.
The cheerful Mr. Pickwick, the hero of the novel by Charles Dickens, is seen in illustrations as someone who is plump and happy. In 18th century paintings, beauty is equated （使…等同） with rounded bodies and soft curves. But nowadays being overweight is seen as indicating neither a cheerful character nor beauty but an increased risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
So what do you do? Diet? Not according to England's chief medical officer, Sir Liam Donaldson. He says that physical activity is the key for reducing the risks of obesity, cancer and heart disease. And the Health Secretary John Reid even said that being inactive is as serious a risk factor in heart disease as smoking.
So, having bought some cross trainers, how much exercise should you do? According to Sir Liam Donaldson, at least 30 minutes of moderate activity five days a week. Is going to the gym the answer? Luckily for those who think that running machines are boring, the Health Development Agency believes that physical activity that fits into people's lives may be more effective. They suggest taking the stairs rather than the lift, walking up escalators, playing active games with your children, dancing or gardening. And according to a sports psychologist, Professor Biddle, gyms "are not making the nation fit", and may even cause harm.
There's new scientific evidence that too much exercise may actually be bad for you. Scientists at the University of Ulster have found that unsuitable exercise releases dangerous free radicals that can adversely （oppositely） affect normal function in unfit people. The only people who should push their bodies to that level of exercise on a regular basis are trained athletes.
So, should we forget about gyms and follow some expert's advice to reduce sedentary （久坐不動的） activities and increase exercise in our daily life? After all, getting off the bus a stop early and walking the rest of the way can't do any harm! One final thought. How come past generations lacked gym facilities but were leaner and fitter than people today? 
小題1:Mr.Pickwick and the paintings of the 18m century are used as examples to show that_____.
A．beauty should be overweight
B．a(chǎn) fat man is usually a cheerful character
C．fatness was considered something good at one time
D．fatness leads to an increased risk of disease
小題2:According to Sir Liam Donaldson, we should_____.
A．go on a dietB．do regular physical activity
C．give up smokingD．go to the gym
小題3:The underlined phrase cross trainers probably refers to _____.
A．people who help you do exerciseB．places where you can do exercise
C．a(chǎn) kind of shoesD．a(chǎn) form of vehicles
小題4:At present being overweight indicates _____.
A．a(chǎn)n increased risk of diseasesB．a(chǎn) happier life
C．a(chǎn) cheerful characterD．a(chǎn) beauty
小題5:What is the passage mainly about?
A．how to keep fit and avoid fatness.B．increased risks for overweight people.
C．the dangers of exercise in the gym.D．the benefit of a balanced diet.

In the past, the affairs happening inside one country had little influence on other countries, even the neighboring ones. Therefore, incidents of food safety only affected and spread within one country, one city, one island or one village. However, with globalization, goods and products can almost flow freely between countries, regions, and continents. So the food safety problem is therefore no longer a national or regional issue, but rather a global one．
In 1997, Avian Influenza caused widespread panic in Hong Kong．It is said that the Avian Influenza originated from Shenzhen. Some Hong Kong people blamed the chicken farm staff on the mainland for the outbreak. The staff was accused of not thoroughly checking the health condition of the chicks under their care. It resulted in Hong Kong people's anger towards chicken farm staff in Shenzhen, whose supposed negligence(疏忽)contributed to the later spread of Avian Influenza in Hong Kong．
Worse still, in Germany, people have been warned not to eat cucumbers until tests can identify the source of a deadly E. coli outbreak. The scare has spread across Europe, with 16 people so far having been killed．In many people's minds, European countries have the strictest standards and checking procedures on their food safety. But the E. coli cucumber incident brought home the reality that it was not an effective defense against such an outbreak．
These diverse food safety issues from various parts of the world are enough evidence that food safety problem is not endemic in China. In fact, food safety is not even directly related to the development level of a place, thanks, no doubt, to the connectivity of our age. If we do not maintain our vigilance(警惕), people's confidence in food safety can be destroyed instantly—even in a developed country
小題1:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Nowadays, food safety incidents spread inside one country
B．In 1997, Avian Influenza caused great fear in Hong Kong
C．16 Germans died of deadly E. coli after eating cucumbers
D．Food safety is only related to the developing countries
小題2:The underlined word "endemic" in the last paragraph most probably means "______"
A．seriousB．commonC．urgentD．unique
小題3:We can infer from the passage that ______
A．food safety problems spread from one country to another
B．the staff of a Shenzhen chicken farm caught Avian Influenza
C．the strictest standards protected European people from getting E. coli
D．China is a country where food safety problem is related to people's age
小題4:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Food Safety Problem Is a Global Issue
B．Cucumbers Are Popular in European Countries
C．Avian Influenza Originated from Shenzhen
D．Food Safety Issues Are Various from Country to Country
